The news is eating it up because idiots are consuming every bit of garbage information they will put out. TikTokers get thousands of views because people are fooled into thinking something is going on. If there are drones, it’s some ding dongs who are getting a kick out of the attention it’s getting.
Iran is not invading with drones. It’s not aliens from the ocean. It’s not a some secret government program. It’s proof that American education has failed and raised the majority population to be mouth breathing morons.
End rant.
There’s no way this is aliens or foreign military.
If that’s the case, they’d be shot down, and the streets around the area would be swarming with National Guard or Military personnel.
I don’t see any reports of New Jersey having National Guard or Military on the streets.
Conclusion: Its not aliens or foreign military.
Most likely its military contractors testing new technology.
I am also assuming that New Jersey doesn’t have any optometrists, because some of the ‘drones’ they have shown on national news are very clearly passenger jets.
If it were a bad actor drone it wouldn’t have lights on it informing everyone it’s there.
No need to really shoot them down, just jam them in some way and let them crash and/or follow them wherever they go when they lose signal (assuming multi-copter style drones).
Except they aren’t even getting jammed, they are just allowing them to fly uninterrupted.
Seems like military drone tests in my opinion.
Have any actual expertise to back that opinion up?
(Hint: probably not.)
Me: Makes a guess on whats happening
Redditor: SOURCE?
Exactly. So it’s either higher military (and they’ve been ordered to do nothing), or they’re watching to see what they do and where they go.
No, military contractors wouldn’t test new technology right out where everyone can see it. They would do it out west in the desert where nobody is.
One reason I could think of, is that its kinda difficult to test a system that identify a human apart from trees or buildings in the middle of the desert. Just do some test flights over a real envionment and that enough sample data to calibrate their image identification system.
They could just say say nothing about it and people would think “alien” before they think its military / military contractors testing new tech.
Some kids with drones aren’t gonna be able to fly in a military base and fly away without it getting shot down, and the military probably has signal jammers that would disrupt connection between the drone and the remote. Why would the military just allow civillians to fly drones over their base and not do any thing about it?
Then why would you do it over the most densely populated part of the country, with full lighting? Why not, say, Billings, Montana, without lights?
They could test nukes on an island in the middle of the ocean, yet they chose to do it right on US soil in the continential us. Sometimes they just do things like that… 🤷♂️
Yeah but they didn’t test nukes in New Jersey.
Well a drone isn’t a nuke, they would probably be more liberal about potential testing grounds. They won’t be carrying any bombs on it, just testing the drone’s capability to identify targets. If its an AI system they are trying to build, they’d need as much data as possible. Real data I mean, not a bunch of military dudes roleplaying civillians in the middle of the desert. In a real war, any AI they want to use wouldn’t be used on dudes out of nowhere cosplaying. They could be trying to analyze human behavior and try to distinguish a civillian behavior, apart from, say a cop, or other non-civillians. Potentially, it could be used to identify behavior that indicate someone who is not a civillian, and are potential enemy combantants, and that capability that can distinguish between those different categories of people could be useful in the future of drone warfare.
Back then, if you told people that the US military were testing nukes on the continential US, they probably have the same reaction as you did about the US military potentially testing drones over New Jersey.
(But this is all just theories on why they might want to test this over a populated area. I’m not stating these as facts, its just theories.)
